The Voice of Leningrad: The Story of a Siege follows the story of Zinochka Suleikina as she returns to her homeland to uncover a mystery that goes back to her life during the World War II siege of Leningrad, the greatest military siege in history.
A historicized allegory for the personal, political and historical events surrounding the siege, Walton masterfully creates a magically real Leningrad -- where the phantasmagoric events of the past rise up to haunt the lives of the future.
"Told through the eyes of a protagonist sixteen years old when the World War II siege of her city begins, this winner of the New London Writers Award is highly recommended."
